The Philippine Sports Commission Training Hub in Baguio City on Sunday unveiled a major upgrade for the strength and conditioning training of our national athletes.
The MVP Sports Foundation donated P2.2 million worth of high-grade, high-performance gym equipment for the old weightlifting facility, with complete interior refurbishment courtesy of the John Hay Hotels managed by Landco Lifestyle Ventures and the assistance of FCLaranag Development Corporation.
“We (athletes) will cherish the blessing that we have,” stated Islay Erika Bomogao – the first Filipina Muay Thai world champion.
Paris 2024 Olympic bronze medalist Aira Villegas echoed, “Hindi po namin sasayangin ito. Lalo pa po naming paghuhusayan ang training namin, para sa bayan.”
PSC chairman Patrick “Pató” Gregorio reaffirmed his commitment to providing national athletes with rewarding support by promptly addressing their critical and primary needs.
“We cannot delay something as beautiful as this,” chairman Gregorio said. “Every day we delay opening these spaces for our athletes is a day of training lost.”
Marking the beginning of the PSC’s rehabilitation efforts, this project stands as a testament to the strengthened partnership between the public and private sectors.
“We’re very happy to give help to PSC and to athletes. We look forward to more programs that we can share with Chairman Pató,” MVPSF Executive Director Paulo Trillo stated.
Chairman Gregorio emphasized, “Our athletes make us so proud as a nation, kaya in everything we do, dapat happy ang atletang pinoy.”
